Production
During the spring of 2008, Phineas and Ferb became the #1 animated show for kids and tweens. Seeing the success, Disney decided to renew the series for its second season – which was planned for twenty-six episodes at the time, unveiling it at the upfront presentation to advertisers on April 9 of that year.[1] Later on July 27, thirteen more episodes were added to the order bringing the season to its final total of thirty-nine episodes. Production began in the fall of 2008, during the broadcast of the show's first season.[2]
On January 18, 2009, the episode, "Tip of the Day," was confirmed to air on Toon Disney on the 23rd of that month, as a preview of the second season for a weekend-long marathon.[3] Later on February 2, it was announced that the season would officially premiere on Disney XD, starting on the 16th of that month.[4]
